FOTD: Good Girl Bad Girl

Hey girlies! I've decided to do a bit of a "crazy" face using the Sleek Good Girl Bad Girl palettes. I did one eye with the Good Girl palette and another eye with the Bad Girl palette. I then went on with the theme and used two different blushes and two different lipsticks! So here we go:

Bad Girl Side:

Eyes: Twilight on the lid, Underground and Blade in the crease, Rebel as a liner, Gullible as a highlight, and Innocence directly under the brow.

Lips: Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick in Birthday Suit.

Face: Raspberry Coulis from the Good Girl Palette as a blush.

Good Girl Side:

Eyes: Candy Floss on my lid, Pink Punch and Cupcake in the crease, Morello as a liner, Meringue as a highlight, and Lychee directly under the brow.

Lips: Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick in Pink Blush.

Face: Candy Floss as a blush.

So I've decided you definitely can use the eyeshadows from the Good Girl palettes as blushes! On both eyes, I also used E.L.F's Eyelid Primer, Maybelline Define A Lash Mascara, and Bourjois Khol and Contour Eyeliner on the waterline.

So what do you guys think? And what's everyone being for Halloween!?

Pink Lipsticks

When I was swatching my new lipstick the other day (Rimmel Pink Blush), I decided to swatch it against some of my other pink lipsticks to see if any of them were similar!

With flash:

Pink Pout and Pink Blush seem to be the most similar. Not in the first photo, but definitely in the flash photo. Obviously Pink Pout is matte and Pink Blush is not. Classy also seems very similar to Pink Blush, but as I mentioned in my reviews of the e.l.f lipsticks, Classy is particularly dry; not a great formula at all. But lip balm sorts that out I suppose.

Pink lipsticks are definitely my favorite. Out of all of them, at the moment, Pink Pout is still my favorite.

What's your favorite color of lipsticks?

Boots Haul!

During my lunch breaks before my next shift starts, I often like to take a walk, which inevitably leads to me walking into some Boots shops, lol. I figured since I had a No7 voucher to spend, I might as well pick something up. And something always leads to somethings. So here we are!:

No7 Natural Blush in Candy Pink: 4.25 (usually 9.25, but had a 5 pound off voucher)

This is what I spent my 5 pound off voucher on. There wasn't really anything else I wanted, and I've been wanting a matte pink blush since it seems all the ones I have are shimmery and that's not always the most flattering on my face. I'd never spend the full amount on it, but it's pretty and pink and I like it!

Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick in Pink Blush: 3.99 (on sale, normally 4.99)

I'm realizing the only lipstick shades I feel comfortable wearing are pinks, so I decided to pick this one up. Partly because it's on sale, and partly because it's one of the new shades from the adverts with Zooey Deschanel, lol. As you'll see from photos below, it looks far more pinker on my lips than I expected. It reminds me of something Snooki would wear, HAHA, so I dunnno, we'll have to see.

Swatches of the blush and lipstick:

With flash:

After leaving this Boots, I soon came to another one. I've been wanting to try more 17 products lately, and they were having a 3 for 2 sale, so I decided to get some things.

17 Wild Curls Mascara in Wildest Black: 5.99

Now, I don't own the original one of this, so I can't really say if it's THAT much blacker, haha, but I kind of doubt it. Anyways, I've heard some good things about this mascara and decided to give it a go. Because it's impossible for me to put on a new mascara after having worn a different one all day (feels crunchy and odd, I dunno), I can't really say yet how I feel about it. Perhaps I'll do a separate review on it.

What I can say though is that I like the look of the brush. Not too big, not too small.

17 Liquid Liner in Black: 3.99

I've been wanting to try liquid eyeliner for some time now, so I figured this was the perfect opportunity. Can't say I've heard anything about the product, so it was a bit of a leap of faith. What I noticed was that while it took a lil bit to dry, it didn't budge when I rubbed my finger over it. Here's what it looks like on my eye, DON'T BE HARSH, I'm new to liquid liner and don't even normally line my top eye with pencil liner, sooo, it's a bit shit, but practice makes perfect!

17 Eye Shadow in Statuesque: FREE (3.49, usually, but it was 3 for 2 on 17 brand)

I think this is such a pretty color. It's really pigmented and shimmery without big ugly chunks of sparkles. Great for a glammed up natural eye.

Swatches of the eyeshadow and liner:

With flash:

And here is me, wearing all the products! Still unsure about the lipstick. It's like a big ol pink marshmallow or something, I don't even know, haha. But then again I was unsure about Revlon's Pink Pout at first and now I love it. I like the whole look of liquid eyeliner, I just need to get better at applying it! Overall, a good and relatively cheap haul! But now I've got TWO more No7 vouchers to spend. -SIGHS- Hahaha.

So what do you guys think? Have you tried any of these products before? If so, let me know your thoughts! I'm off to try and do some uni work before passing out. Exhausted from this week. Just want to get tomorrow over and done with and get to the weekend! It's my boyfriend and mine's 2 year anniversary on Sunday. :D

Bye bye!xxx

EOTD's featuring Rimmel Three-Sum Shadows

I tried out a look each with the two goodies I got from the Pound shop the other day: Rimmel Three-Sum Eyeshadows in Naughty and Breath Taking.

Other Products Used:

Maybelline Lash Stiletto in Black

Urban Decay 24/7 Glide on Eye Pencil in Zero

Urban Decay Primer Potion in Eden

e.l.f Eye Shadow Brush

Studio Tools Brushes (Crease, Liner, and Medium Shadow)

The most pigmented of all the colors is the purple one from Breath Taking. It's not too big of a shame that the others aren't as pigmented, because you can still create a nice, more natural look rather than if you had really intense colors.

Naughty:

The green color on the lid, the dark gray as a liner and a little bit on the outer crease, and the pink color under the brow bone.

Breath Taking:

The purple color on the lid and as a liner, the pink color in the crease, and the gray color under the brow bone.

Enjoy! =)

Poundland Goodies

Ahhh I love Poundland. :D My boyfriend and I were there today, and got plenty of goodies, all for only 8 pounds! Among those goodies are two Rimmel Three-Sum eyeshadows in Naughty (left) and Breath Taking (right).

(No Flash)

When you're essentially getting 6 eyeshadows for only 2 pounds, you can't really complain. So I won't. They're not crazy pigmented, but they're good enough, really. So overall, a good buy!

Have you guys found any cheap makeup goodies lately?

Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick Review

Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick in Birthday Suit

I wanted a nude lipstick and picked this one up on a whim a little while ago. It only cost around 5 pounds. I'm not estactic about how the color looks on me, I think it's a lil too orangey / dark, but I found a way to make it work when I went to the club one night with my friends (see photos below!):

I do love the feel and smell (vanilla-y) of this lipstick though. For the price, I think it's an excellent lipstick. It's moisturising and provides good color. I'd definitely buy another one, just in a different shade. I'm still learning what colors do and don't look good on me, haha!!
